Console monster writes: "Console Monster were kindly invited to a hands-on preview of Alone in the Dark for the Xbox 360. Myself and Thomas Hostler snapped up the chance and hit the road in what resulted in a surprisingly impressive reincarnation of the series. To detail our thoughts and conclusions of the game, we have come together and formed this special conversational preview of the game, we hope you enjoy.

Jumping straight into the good stuff, fire is simply amazing. You can set fire to one particular area of a room, for example say the door, and the fire will spread up the wall catching fire to the ceiling and slowly moving from one ceiling tile to another. As you can imagine, the entire room can soon become engulfed in flames, burning down everything in its path (including you or your enemies). As explained by the developers themselves, fire is easily the greatest friend and enemy in Alone in the Dark."
It’s part of the GOG Preservation Program, which ensures it stays running on modern PCs.
NBA 2K25, Alone in the Dark, Destiny 2: The Final Shape, and Bomb Rush Cyberfunk await.
I have been hearing a lot of positive feedback in reference to this game. Honna give it a go.
A really good month this time.
Don't care for NBA but its pretty cool that Destiny 2 is now completely? with all dlc? available via ps+ essential for those who have it since years.
Also Alone in the Dark and Bomb Rush will be played through by me.
PS Blog - "From May 28 to June 11, take part in player activities, bonus PlayStation Plus content, exciting offers, and more."
Overall great deals for everyone I guess.
For me personally though:
• "players who join PlayStation Plus during this year’s celebration can save up to 33% on select 12-month memberships."
• "players who are currently a PlayStation Plus Essential or Extra member, save 33% on the remainder of your membership when upgrading to PlayStation Plus Premium/Deluxe."
Ehhh ... Days of Play last until 11th. My subscription expires June, 14th.
I literally am laughing at me rn.
If Sony allowed subscriptions to be sold by third party sellers like they did in the PS4 days, you would not have this problem.
That's why everyone should get their subscriptions now as last years days of play was may 29 to 12th of june. Mine is expiring on the 7th so i will just get essential or possibly extra this year.
And you can atleast get 15 days of extra or premium at 33% off to try it out.
You used to be able to stack you Sub with these deals it would be good to do this as I'm not paying 214 for deluxe again
This shows how game pass is eating ps plus lunch…..they’re lowering the price and the crazy thing is the premium tier is worse than the tier below it lol
Will see about getting my kid a cheaper PS Plus sub so he can backup and transfer his saves again. Really wish that was free ala XB.
Hopefully Destiny 2 The Final Shape comes with a free gear level upgrade like last year’s PS Plus offering. To bring you up to speed with all the content and everyone else. I still need to do a Nightfall Strike on Grandmaster difficulty, but ain’t got time to grind.
Why not add him to you PlayStation plus family? I added my sons and it includes access to all my games and ps plus.

I have my primary set to his console so he can play online multiplayer and all my games, but it doesn’t give him access to cloud storage. That’s the problem. He needs to back up his saves. From the link:
PlayStation Plus features that can't be shared

Redeeming PS Plus games on another account.
Online storage.
Auto patch download.
Early access to time-limited game trials.
More like Days of Meh.... no specialized controllers or systems like in 2018 and 2019.
I mean it feels like you are forcing yourself to be negative here. Those are some really decent deals tbh. Also, everyone thought PS5 would go up to match Xbox so going down is a nice surprise too.
If you really beleived what you are saying why do you have to keep making alts to say it?
None of those deals are of any great consequence to me. I was hoping they would bring back the special themed hardware after a 5 year break. They had it in 2018 and 19 and nothing for 20-24. 25 could have been the year to bring it back.
To be fair he right about the special edition days of play controllers and hardware. They could of at least made a controller and limited edition ps5 side plates for the event.
But the other deals are cool.
To be clear, what are you referring to when you say 'specialized'? Just wanted to know if you had a different take on these controller and system deals.

Both DoP 2018 and 19 had special themed PS4 slim. I have both and while they did not do them again in 20-24.... I was hoping they would bring it back in 25 with a special themed PS5 slim or even Pro.
This is their way to counter Nintendo Switch 2 launch week. I might get the discounted annual premium subs, but I think the game lineup is weak.
That games lineup is huge. It’s got new games on there and really good ones like Tekken 8. The PlayStation 5 being cheaper than the switch 2 is a counter in and of itself. Early adopters are early adopters. It will sell well, but not as good as the original switch. Not with that price and a far more capable machine with real online available for less. I think old Reggie said it best. Nintendo thrived on innovation and pushing new ideas. Not just rereleasing better versions of what it already had. The Wii was a massive success. The Wii U…. The 3DS was a big success, the DS XL… The switch huge success. The switch 2….. we will see.
